    PMed, because Hasbro and Activision put the smackdown on nearly all sites that displayed these.

    Wreck-Gar sounds interesting and is something we haven't heard of or seen anything about yet. Assuming they go with a motorcycle alt-mode, wonder who the repaint/remold would be. A bigger name character like Groove? Someone a little more obscure like Iguanus? Or just a random Junkion troop-builder?

    Not sure about the Prime and BB figures, though. The only Deluxe Prime figures of late are the WfC and that awful "Battle Begins" Classics mold.

    I wonder if the new Wreck-Gar will be a trash truck or a motorcycle. Either way, he's all mine.

    Time for some crazy ass speculation. Prime could be Classics Prime. If you recall, that mold started out as a deluxe, and they still have the prototype to work from.

    Maybe Bumblebee is classics Bee, painted like Goldbug, just like they're doing with the legends figure.

    I sure hope not! Motorcycle, and make him able to ride himself. That way they can retool him into another Junkion and make that one ride Wreck-Gar and vice versa.

    Wreck-Gar.....hmmm? I really do hope he is a bike. Kinda curious about those listings though. This is the first time we heard of Wreckgar...but a few of the ones shown at CyberCon are not mentioned.

    Already known, but good to see.

    These are HftD/yellow box listings, and both repaints (Fallback is a Brawn redeco, and Mindset is a repaint of that new tank).

    These are the new and interesting ones. I'm really curious to see what Prime and Bee will be (maybe the same as the United listings?). Wreckgar is really interesting, and nice, to see, though a bit out of left field. I'm looking forward to seeing how he turns out. I'll most likely get him. I think he'll be a bike. A garbage truck would, imho, be too hard to pull off at the Deluxe class size.

    Out of curiosity, can anybody who works for Walmart confirm these listings? (might as well check before we get all hopped up on the possibility of a Classics styled Wreckgar).

    Edit: If the Prime listing does turn out to be a Deluxe scaled version of the Classics Voyager, I'll definitely buy it. Would be great to kitbash into Ultra Magnus (custom armor and all). A Deluxe Goldbug themed repaint would also be nice, but I'm not so sure I'd buy it. It's something I'd wait to see how it turned out first.

    Wreck-gar = win. I was actually thinking about picking up the Fansproject version that's supposed to be coming out.

    If he can ride himself, Hasbro just sold me two!

    That is a good guess. Especially with iGears showing off a down scaled version of the Classics Prime mold. Might be Hasbro's way of hitting them hard on that project.

    I got so excited a few minutes ago when I saw wrecker was getting a deluxe sized generations toy.

    I've got to congratulate Hasbro/Takara there really hitting some home runs with the generations toy character choices. jazz,tracks,thunderwing,straxus,KUP are all awesome choices.

    Wreck-Gar!? Sweet! And the continued mystery of the new Prime & BB. Maybe, just MAYBE they're TF Prime toys shoved in. Odd to see Out/Fallback and Mindset listed here since they're yellow boxed and not Generations.

    It nice to see the listings but i think with Wreck-Gar i'll actually probably just wait for the fans project trio if they still release it, or if they're both good both.

    I'm also wondering/expecting that the Optimus and Bumblebee in these listings connects with similar listings in the Japanese United listing.

    Curious about Wreck-Gar even though Animated gave me a Wreck-Gar fix to last a lifetime.
